[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom-knit patterns with Jiffy bulky

[Barb Roland]

For the magic scarf, you use Lion Brand fun fur, I have been told that brand 
has more stretch than other brands. The beauty of the "magic" scarf is in 
the number of different ways it can be worn.
You could make a tube scarf with chunky yarn, it would be very thick and 
warm if not to bulky, but it won't be the "magic" scarf.
